Wedding Cakes

The traditional wedding cake is a tiered, white cake with butter cream frosting. But who says you need to be traditional, today people have done things that seem to be some of the craziest wedding cakes ever!! Wedding cakes can be any color, shape, flavor, and can have any kind of decorations.

First we can start off with the shape of the cake, traditionally the shape of a wedding cake is circle of square, but as I mentioned earlier the more creative you get the more special your cake will be.

A popular way to decorate a square shaped cake is to decorate it as if it were a gift box with many frills and ribbons. A circular cake could be designed more to follow a theme such as a lighthouse or a nature scene.

Although look is essential it is also important that the cake taste good when you guests go to eat it. Now it is time to pick the flavor of your cake. Vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, lemon, the list goes on. Not only do you have to choose these flavors, but you also have to choose a filling. With coconut, lemon, mocha, raspberry, and this list going on too this decision becomes 10X harder. In the end whatever floats your boat, will probably float your guest’s boat as well.

Icing is also very essential in the look of the cake. The flavor of the icing can also influence this decision. Many people choose vanilla or chocolate, but again the more creative you get the more special it will be.
